    MSI GT683DX random BSOD

    Ever since I got my GT683DX I'm experiencing random BSOD about twice per day, sometimes it's ok. It mostly happens when a game starts loading a new place, chapter or instance. Also when browsing the web and there are many tabs open so it gets a bit slow.
    I was looking for solutions and found out that it could be caused by the memory. One guy had replaced the original memory to some other he got and it worked fine. Could that be the issue? I still have 2 years of warranty left but it usually takes so much time till they fix it and some people who did send their machines to repair got them back still with bsod occuring. Any suggestions?

    Get yourself a blue screen viewer. I use the one from nirsoft. It will tell you the drivers involved in your BSOD - sort of like a diagnostic tool.

    Thanks, hope I will get some answers with this.


    EDIT.

    Oh, I ended up sending my lappy to repair :( I tryied reinstalling Windows because I found out that a Windows update went wrong and a few drivers were messed up. Now I can't even reinstall, I get a BSOD during installation.

    After two weeks of warranty repair service I got my laptop back. A memory module appeared to be malfunctioning, they replaced it with a new one. Now everything works like a charm :)
